Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if using ultrasound to diagnosis and confirm reductions of shoulder dislocations impacts the length of an emergency department visit for this condition.

Description:

The purpose of the study is to determine if the length of the emergency department visit can be decreased and if patient exposure to x-rays can be reduced by utilizing an ultrasound to diagnose and confirm reduction in shoulder dislocations.

This study also seeks to determine if patients prefer ultrasound to x-ray when used to treat their shoulder dislocation.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either x-rays or ultrasound for the diagnosis and reduction confirmation of your shoulder dislocation.

Participant's shoulder dislocation will be treated per standard of care.

Participants will be asked to complete a short survey at the end of their visit.

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• X-Ray
Shoulder x-rays as felt necessary for standard of care of diagnosis of shoulder dislocation and reduction
• Ultrasound
Initial evaluation with ultrasound; may also evaluate nearby areas for concern of fracture. Order x- rays after ultrasound as seen fit for other injuries of diagnostic uncertainty.
